New knife shop

[bjansen]

My latest knife making project – a knife making shop.  I was able to build a shop with a maximum space of 461 sq ft ...so that is what I built.  Concrete and gutters were outsourced – the rest I did myself.  Have to thank Doug and Chad for helping me with the rafters, my neighbor Jason for helping me with the roofing felt, my Dad for the siding and paint and my wife and son for some other random tasks/giving me the time to do it.  I poured concrete on 8/11/16 and hung the last panel inside on 12/11/16.  I burned a lot of weekends out there building this, but it is very nice to have a separate space for this.

Inside is 20+ year old rough sawn red pine on 2 walls and then metal for the back two walls and ceiling.

Great job! I guess you will truly be a knife grinding fool, now. You will enjoy this for sure.

[Gdpolk]

That sure looks nice.  I could get cozy in a place like that.

[Bill Kissner]

Brad, you continually amaze me with your skills. No doubt you will be a successful knife maker!

I'll bet this means you are not moving back to Illinois in the near future?   :confused:

Thanks for the comments. Bill I think I will be here in Wisconsin for a while - but I really don't know. I moved quite a bit with my job but I finally settled on the thought that anywhere I live, I am just going to treat as if it were basically a permanent home.

Super nice!  Going to be nice having that special place to create knives.

Thats an awesome looking shop and the rough sawn boards already have stories and good mojo on the walls.  Your work is top notch bud.  you'll be hammering out some good ones
